We're bringing you the *slightly* edited (for clarity) Instagram live episode of the pod that was curated by questions from all of you. In one of our favorite episodes yet, we answer all your burning Survivor "Fans Have Spoken" questions. 

We had so much fun with y'all, answering questions live and also answering your fan submission questions on Instagram live. We absolutely love the Escaping Reality fam and are so grateful for y'all engaging with us on this reality tv journey. In this episode, you'll hear our thoughts on the hottest castaways, whether or not we believe Coach's Amazon story, and a few of our takes on RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars 6 (as a bonus). We sure do love a tangent and we definitely go off-roading in this episode, but I think you can see we love our fans and loved answering all your questions.

It was inevitable...and now it's hear for your listening pleasure: Our Survivor Zaddy Episode! If you listen to our pod, you know we never shy away from admitting which Survivor players we are undoubtedly (and sometimes embarrassingly) attracted to. So, we figured it was time to properly round them up and categorize our choices. 

We're breaking it down into different rounds of qualifying HUNKS -- who you're bringing home to mom, who you keep as your dirty little secret, ACTUAL Dad Daddy, and more. 

We had a BLAST recording this one, so we hope you enjoy. If you do enjoy, be sure to let us know so we can plan more content like this for you in future episodes. Tell us as well: did your favorite Survivor Zaddy make the cut?!

We've got a fun episode for y'all today! As we were watching the 40 seasons of Survivor, a conversation that came up a lot was: who was the best to ever do it, even if they didn't win? And, we debated this a lot. So, we decided to actually hash it out and decide who we think probably could have (or should have) a win and potentially why they never will.

The clearest example of this is the goddess/queen Cirie Fields. She is our 'North Star' in this conversation as we bring names to the table and debate whether or not we think they actually deserve the title or not. We had a lot of fun debating this topic and we would LOVE to hear your thoughts, so slide in those DMs or comment on our post about this episode so we can hear who you think we missed!

Hey Escaping Reality Fam -- we're back with the final installment of our Survivor re-watch mini-series.

Theming & casting were so impeccable in Survivor China, so we're looking back at all the highlights, and using our 40-seasons worth of wisdom to cast a new light on things. 

You guys submitted some great Fans Have Spoken questions about particular players, so thank you for those! Plus: we didn't vibe check Jeff in our original S15 episode, so we're having plenty of fun making up for that lost time.

THE FINALE of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under is upon us and Agie and Nick are here to break it down with you. We're having lots of feelings about the season in general and we invite you on our journey to figure it out together. We're talking about how the edits and overall storylines for each queen affected how we enjoyed the season and we want to hear what you think!

Other than our reflections on the season as a whole, we're CROWING A WINNER BABY. Congrats to our girl Kita Mean! And, we toot/boot the queens' "Best Drag" looks and they were truly out of this world. We obviously have to vibe check the judges one last time this season and also do some rapid fire. Listen through the end to hear what we think they could do to make Season 2 even better. 

Thanks for a great season of Drag Race and letting us try out this new "live" episode format. Let us know if you'd be interested in having us chat about Season 14 as well!

As always, just a reminder that these opinions are solely ours as fans of RuPaul's DragRace. We are not drag professionals and are incredibly grateful to watch and share our of this show with y'all!

Hey Escaping Reality Fam -- Happy Summer!

We're rehashing whether or not we gave Natalie fair criticism, and highlighting some other individual players who got unfairly forgotten over time (and definitely didn't deserve it *cough* Monica *cough*). Plus, talking extensively about whether or not this season should be considered a turning point in the show's history. 

You guys submitted some great Fans Have Spoken questions that we're answering at the top of the episode. And, of course, stay tuned through the end to hear your favorite #JeffNeedsAVibeCheck and Rapid Fire segments!

It's time for a Talent Show Extravaganza and the queens of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under are definitely doing...something. Shout out to Art Simone for the funniest 5 minutes with absolutely no context for what her talent actually is ❤️. We're breaking down the talents, Raven and RuPaul's critiques of them, and how they all went down in front of the judges. We're also reflecting on the season as a whole and talking about what caused us to have such a 'mushy middle' of queens every week and whether or not we actually enjoyed it. 

We've got all that PLUS "Toot or Boot the Looks," #RuPaulNeedsaVibeCheck, Queens of the Week, and Rapid Fire! Spoiler alert: there's no booted looks and RuPaul doesn't need a vibe check, Rhys does. Queens of the Week are part of our rapid fire, so stay tuned til the end to hear what we're thinking coming up to the finale.

Hi Escaping Reality Fam! I hope you have been enjoying our rewatch series -- we have been having so much fun hearing your thoughts and engaging with you all about each season. For Season 17: Gabon this week, we had SO many Fans Have Spoken comments that we tried to incorporate all your comments into the show. If you submitted, make sure you listen to hear your comment or question during today's episode!

In addition to Fans Have Spoken, we're discussing theming, our misjudgment of castaways from our previous episode, and whether or not Gabon deserves to live in this "Golden Age" of Survivor. You'll have to take a listen to hear what we think. We're playing "what if" with lots of different scenarios and discussing what makes Gabon so entertaining when, in reality, it maybe shouldn't be. 

As Stacey says at the beginning of this episode, "There's a season for everyone, but not every season is for everyone," and we're so grateful to all of you for going on this journey with us! We also have #JeffNeedsaVibeCheck and Rapid Fire, so listen til the end to hear them! Enjoy!

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH QUEENS!! Episode 6 is up next on our recap series of RuPaul's DragRace Down Under, and Nick and Agie basically just gush over the joyful werk room full of gay rubgy players and the remaining queens. Just want to give a quick note. The sound on this week's episode is ~busted~ so just make sure you turn up the volume so you can hear us! 😉

This week's episode, we're discussing the mini-challenge "Whatcha Packing Down Under" and breaking down each and every one of the makeovers of the stunning men of the gay rugby league. It was a super fun episode, and we think you'll hear how much fun we had recording as you listen. We also discuss what it means to be a drag mother (in and out of competition) as well as the best way to go about 'family resemblance' in this challenge. 

We've got all that PLUS "Toot or Boot the Looks," #RuPaulNeedsaVibeCheck, Queens of the Week, and Rapid Fire! In Rapid Fire we're playing "Whatcha Packing Down Under" just like the queens on this week's episode so stick around to hear it. If you want to play with us on Instagram or Twitter, you know what to do.

We may have watched all available seasons of Survivor, but we had some unfinished business. In this mini-series of episodes, each of our hosts has picked a season that they feel deserves a 2nd look! Whether we were too harsh, too chaotic, or too distracted, there are a few seasons that, with some added perspective, we could dive into even deeper. 

It's Stacey's week to pick & she had us revisit season 14: Fiji! This was probably our most chaotic episode when we first watched & recorded, so we were all eager to watch with fresh eyes and calmer souls. And it did not disappoint! The season ha way more to offer than we remembered. Plus, we were able to take a much more focused approach to watching the (much deserved) winner's arc. 

We're talking about our changed castaway impressions, thoughts on an old season now that we've seen all 40, some cast-based 'Fans Have Spoken' questions, Vibe Checking Jeff, and Rapid fire! 

Have a listen & let us know: have any of your Fiji opinions changed along with ours? And stay tuned until the end of this episode to hear about Agie's pick for what we'll be re-watching next & why.
